API Access to Slow Transaction Thresholds, etc.

I want to import/export all the information on the "Show Transaction Thresholds" page Under Configuration: 
Slow Transaction Threshold, Very Slow Transaction Threshold, Stall, etc.

 

We want to make sure we're consistent across applications. We have many applications and several environments per application (Lab, QA, Production, etc).

Hi @Robert.Bratton,

 

Have you seen our API Documentation page? If not, please check it out - https://docs.appdynamics.com/22.1/en/extend-appdynamics/appdynamics-apis

 

Let me know if you were able to find the right API you need in that list.

 


Thanks,

Ryan, Cisco AppDynamics Community Manager

Thanks for the tip. I have viewed the API documentation.

Only the export API supports listing dashboards. I can't access that with the normal account I use for the AppDynamics web UI and non-export API methods (/controller/restui/dashboards/getAllDashboardsByType/false). The regular API methods can only export a dashboard for which you know the ID. I created a brute-force script that just attempts to export each ID from 1 to 32767. It's inefficient but better than exporting each dashboard manually through the web API.

 

Configuration Import and Export API (appdynamics.com)

I was able to make it work by inserting the X-CSRF-Token as a header.

 

<code>

$uri = $BaseURL + "/controller/auth?action=login"
Invoke-WebRequest -uri $uri -headers $Headers -SessionVariable WebSession | out-null

$Uri = $BaseURL + "/controller/restui/dashboards/getAllDashboardsByType/false"

if (-not $headers.ContainsKey("X-CSRF-Token")) {
    $XCSRFToken = $WebSession.Cookies.GetCookies($uri) | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'X-CSRF-Token' } | Select-Object -First 1 -ExpandProperty Value
    $Headers.Add("X-CSRF-Token", $XCSRFToken)
}

$Result = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $Uri -Headers $Headers -WebSession $WebSession

</code>

Hi @Robert.Bratton,

 

Thanks for doing some testing and reporting back. Knowledge sharing is what drives this community forward - so thanks for passing the solution along.
